Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people from all around the world. While I often rent out the room in my house for longer periods right now it's available for a shorter time so I thought I'd try couch surfer instead.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I performed an ancient Iraqi fairy tale in a pit of dirt in English in front of a chinese audience, who read subtitles. I'm not sure quite how it translated culturally but it was a blast for us.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning little bits of language. Particularly keen to work on my Spanish. If you can teach me how to play the ukulele better that would be great!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Your own room with a big bed. Close to the train station, a supermarket, restaurants and a fresh food market. A friendly guy who likes meeting people and has lived in Melbourne a long time and can tell you what's what.
